Pakistan suspends search for missing US climbers

Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson began their ascent of the 7,285-metre (23,900-foot) Ogre-II peak off the Choktoi Glacier in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan on Sunday August 21, but went missing the next day and have not been seen since.

“The helicopter-search was suspended after authorities did not get a go-ahead for today from families and friends of the two climbers,” Karrar Haidri, a spokesman for the Alpine Club of Pakistan told AFP.
